"I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the pilgrimage（朝圣） to Mecca．．． to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests．" So begins an old manuscript（手稿） in a library in Paris－the travel journal of Ibn Battuta．

Almost two centuries before Columbus, Ibn Battuta set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers． Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote comers of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo． Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs． In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him．

Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over． In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultan of Delhi．On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen． "We fought… killing one of their horsemen and about twelve of the foot soldiers… I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me… "． In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prior study at Mecca． But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave． When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed． IbnBattuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore． A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering treasure and drowning many people and horses． As he watched, the third ship with all his belongings and slaves （one carrying his child）, was carried out to sea and never heard from again．

After a lifetime of incredible adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world． Fortunately, he agreed and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys．

1.What is the main topic of the article?

A．Ibn wasn't fond of the sultan of Delhi

B．Ibn never liked ancient China

C．Ibn was a good friend of Marco Polo

D．Ibn dedicated the book to his child

5.What brought Ibn Battuta finally back to his motherland?

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

As a kid, I was a little fat. In college, I was less active, and I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. At the age of 30, I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. I have a family history of heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So a few weeks after my birthday, in the spring of 2006, I started to lose weight.

Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking to a subway stop a few blocks away instead of the one closest to my apartment. I gradually increased the distance. A year later, I started to run. At first I could run for only two minutes, but I kept on.

I made a difference. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had a lot more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon, which goes right past my apartment building. For years, I thought I could never do that. But now I realized that maybe I could…

By my 33rd birthday, in the spring of 2009, I was down to 180 pounds. That summer, I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start.

When we started moving, it was an amazing feeling to have people cheering me on, handing me cups of water. In Harlem, my mom and brother stood on a street corner, waving. And then I crossed the finishing line in Central Park, and somebody put a medal around my neck. I was in tears from being so happy.
